It is a light, yet malty lager with a slight hint of smoke. We have added a small amount of beechwood-smoked malt to the grain base, which in this case fuels the aroma fire.
We have also used a significant amount of German noble Bavarian Hallertau Mittelfruh hops, which add a very subtle aroma and flavour with dried flowers and field herbs.
Ingredients: water, malted barley, hops, yeast.

Can 33 cl. Pours a clear golden with a tiny, white head. Fat, bacony Bamberg smoke. Rich, sweet malty body with a brutal bitterness and then again massive smoke. No thanks. 030226

Suitsu väga ei saa, aga mõnusalt magus-mõru-kuiv-linnaseline laager on see küll.

Draft. A golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes smoke, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes smoke, malt, and straw, leading to a bitter finish.

330 ml bottle. Unclear dark golden, huge fluffy head. Smoked malt, oak, smoked black forest ham, citrus notes and grapefruit zest, hay and hops. Hoppy zesty bitterness, umami. Medium bodied, oily texture, fizzy carbonated, dry bitter smoked finish, really nice crisp / smoked Helles, too bad it has that much carbonation.

Smokey, intense woody smoked beginning. The beer is grainy neutral in the back, typical grainy Helles with a punch of great woody smoke on top. Fast fading with grainy smoked parts in the aftertaste. A very nice result in mixing these styles.
